George Washington Parke Gusts died at
Arlington, near Washington city, on the
10Th of October, 1851 He left one child,
the wife of Robert r.. Lee afterward the
Confederate general. Closely allied TO the
Washington family, fond of calling him
self the child Of Mount Vernon, he was
never so much ia his element as when he
was talking or writing Of the great chief
and the men and times Of the Revolution.
As he said Of himself once, "hs was the
destiny Of no common man, for he had
been fondled on the knee Of the Father OF
his Country, and received from him the
kindness Of a parent He repaid that care
and affection with flial devotion, and 10
the day OF his death all the recollectiOns
OF his life centered around or radiated
from the time when he was one Of Wash
ington's family. He lived 10 good old
age retaining his mental faculties TO the
last. Though Mr.. Gusts was never in
public life, he was in his younger days an
eloquent aud effective speaker, and had a
fondness for OratOry as long rs he was
able 10 crafty those who constantly called

The retirement Of MI Greyy from the
presidency of the French Republic, causes
an uneasy feeling with regard to that
country, 50 excitable and sensational.
Nevertheless, in an existence Of seventeen
years, the republic has had but three
presidents, and the reelection Of Mr..
Grevy, not quite two years ago, was not
only personal honor, but an indication
Of the desire OF France to risk as few
changes as possible in the head of the
Government.
The Monarchists hope for some turn Of
luck in their favor every time there is a
mistake or failure in the Government,
and the Radicals are equally as anxious
and alert.

and as the gravedigger was preparing to
lower the coffin into the earth he heard

exact counterpart Of what occurred about
twelve months ago in another rural part
of France. The gravedigger, half fright

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

A Northern paper in critising some OF
the Radical campaign thunder directedat
Mr.. Jefferson Davis states the very point
ed fact that Mr.. Davis did not cause the
war. The people caused it. 1t is the
most extraordinary theory prevailing I'm
some quarters to charge the politicians
with rushing the Southern people into
the war. 1t would be much truer to say
that the people did it, The whole drift
and development of opinion for genera
lions had tended towards a sectional
strife, and 1t could not have been con-
trolled, for the institutions of the two
sections were utterly antagonistic.
Both the social and the political char
acters of the two sections were different
entirely, and as to the material and bust
ness part of the question, we know that
one section was agricultural and the
other mercantile.
That the two branches of the Anglo
American family should thus quarrel, fight
a war, and be able to make peace under
similar dispensations, and with such
manly good will so soon after the strug-
gle is owing partly to the sense and
courage of both, and for to rest to the
logical result of the surrender by the
South of the issues.
All this is said In different terms on
many occasions, but we always want to
state such questions without any senti
ment.
The South accepts the new order of
things and progresses un Ter it.
AS for the honor to the leaders of the
Confederacy, she retains the love for
those who represented our patriotism,
and as the paper cited above. remarks
Mr. Jefferson Davis, has only a patriots
interest now In the country TO which his
own people have pledged their faith.

THy WAY MALONE WILL GO.

Somebody in Petersburg set the rumor
flying on Saturday that Malone would
issue an edict to his party advocating a
debt settlement We have stated for
two years that Malone would not do as
the Democratic leaders thought, that u.s.
come out for reputation, and II is
natural to suppose that he might adVo-
cate debt settlement as soon as possible
In order to save the State from an ex-
pensive and vain fight.
But Malone at this moment Is no
longer a face card in the game OF Viz
ginia politics He has bad his day, and
If his own party should win, he could not
be elected Senator
It would be a phenomenon il it were
otherwise in the history Of a man who ig-
nored all the principles that are strong in
honesty and justice. Roscoe Conkling
WIS a giant Of colossal proportions to
Malone, but when Roscoe Conkling lost
the patronage Of the Republican party as
Malone has done in the same party, his
fall was quick and far He was a leader
who understood the power over men that
the control Of patronage possesses, and
like most Of the Republicans of his time,
he posted himself and his party on an or
ganizaiion that meant official perquisiies
and plumber.
Mr.. Blaine, then in the Cabinet, sug-
gesied to President Garfield that the
simple way to break the influence ofsuch
a powerful enemy as Conkling, was to
destroy the source Of that influence and
let II be known that Mr. Conkling's re-
commentator was not good for county
postofice. Garfield followed the sugges-
ton and down went Mr.. Conkling
in character Malone makes the Illus
tration good on the same principle that
a biblical parable is good because the
similarity exists only in one feature, and
that is the intense vanity Of the two
bosses. Nj Conkling is believed TO be
an honest and able man as Republicans 90.
Mr.. Malone IS unlike him in these re-
spects, but he is doing the same thing at
the crisis Of his fate and has the same
motive, and he will see that without the

rents PROFESSIONALLY have something TO do
with it, but there are local circumstances
which favor or disfavor the hearing Of sounds

which the ear can distinguish sound depends
both on the intensity Of the sound, the

Scylla is a rocky cape on the west coast II
south Italy, jutting out boldly into the sea 50
as to form a small peninsula just at the north
ern entrance to the Straits Of Messina. The
rock is about 300 feet high, and much hol-
lowed out below by the action Of the waves.
Navigation at this place was looked upon by
the ancients as attended with immense danger.
This rock, according to Homeric legend was
the abode Of hideous monster. encompassed
with dogs and wolves. Charybdis is a cele-
brated whirlpool in the Straits Of Messina.
Homer places 1t Immediately opposite to
Scylla. If it was so, it has changed is situa-

with it is, that under a large fg tree, which
grew out of the rock opposite Scylla, dwelt
the monster Charybdis who thrice every day
sucked down the water Of the sea and thrice
threw il up again. Ships which tried in
navigating 10 avoid Scylla were often
